The structure and curvature of the Earth results in beams of sunlight glancing off the equator and reaching other areas of the Earth. This means that the areas at the equator receive more energy as sun's rays hit them directly.
Therefore, the answer is C.

Describe how acid rain<br> would react with rocks<br> over time.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

They break down rocks.

Explanation:

The rain is slightly acidic due to the presence of carbon dioxide. Power plants and automobiles produce gases such as sulfur dioxide and nitric oxide, which react with water vapor in the atmosphere to form acid rain. They help in weathering the rocks which makes up the Earth's crust.

Hope this helps

This solid layer of the earth is made of mostly iron and nickel.
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer

Explanation:

Yes, it's true that the solid layer of the earth is known as the most dense part as it is made up of the heavy metals like iron and nickel. Inner part is the hotter part due to the high pressure and temperature. It has the temperature of about 5,200°C and the pressure of 3.6 million atm but still the iron and nickel are present there in the solid form as they withstand such high temperature and pressure values.

the magnitude of the electrical force acting between a +2.4x10-8c charge and 1+1.8x10-6 charge that are separated by 1.008m is
Temka [501]

Answer:

3.83×10¯⁴ N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Charge 1 (q₁) = +2.4x10¯⁸ C

Charge 2 (q₂) = +1.8x10¯⁶ C

Distance apart (r) = 1.008 m

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Force (F) =?

The magnitude of the electrical force acting between the two charges can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂ / r²

F = 9×10⁹ × 2.4x10¯⁸ × 1.8x10¯⁶ / (1.008)²

F = 0.0003888 / 1.016064

F = 3.83×10¯⁴ N

Thus the magnitude of the electrical force acting between the two charges is 3.83×10¯⁴ N

Long Snorkel: Inhalation of a breath occurs when the muscles surrounding the human lungs move to increase the volume of the lung
Mila [183]

Answer:

h = 0.362 m

Explanation:

The pressure equation with depth is

      P₂ = P_{atm} +ρ g h

The gauge pressure is

       P2 -  P_{atm} = ρ g h

This is the pressure that muscles can create

       P₂ -  P_{atm}= 3740 Pa

But still the person needs a small pressure for the transfer of gases, so

      P₂ -  P_{atm} = 3740 - 188 = 3552 Pa

This is the maximum pressure difference, where the person can still breathe,

Let's clear the height

      h = 3552 / ρ g

      h = 3552 / (1000 9.8)

      h = 0.362 m

This is the maximum depth where the person can still breathe normally.

Hello please help i’ll give brainliest
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

D, the lithosphere. (CRUST AND UPPER MANTLE)

Explanation:

A tectonic plate (also called lithospheric plate) is a massive, irregularly shaped slab of solid rock, generally composed of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest. Plate thickness also varies greatly, ranging from less than 15 km for young oceanic lithosphere to about 200 km or more for ancient continental lithosphere (for example, the interior parts of North and South America).

Information found on:

<u>https://pubs.usgs.gov/gip/dynamic/tectonic.html#:~:text=A%20tectonic%20plate%20(also%20called,both%20continental%20and%20oceanic%20lithosphere.&text=Continental%20crust%20is%20composed%20of,such%20as%20quartz%20and%20feldspar.</u>
